Jessica, of Jessica’s Natural Foods, asked me to choose one of her granola’s and create another recipe for her. I chose the nut-free (except for coconut) Gluten-Free Cherry & Berry Granola; so my grandchildren, who are allergic to nuts, could sample my new dish. This granola, like all of Jessica’s […]
Making a pie crust from ginger snaps is so much easier than rolling out a pastry crust! This is the perfect crust for a mild filling that doesn’t have to be baked. I use it for my Pumpkin Chiffon Pie. The spiciness and crispiness of the crust provides the perfect […]
This recipe for Chicken with Capers and Almonds is built on layers of flavor from many different elements. Your first bite tells you that this is a soft chicken recipe. As the pieces of chicken are simmering, they absorb the sweetness of carrots and orange juice along with the tang […]

Sometimes, you just need a little Blueberry Sauce. When you make pancakes or french toast and are bored with maple syrup-use blueberry sauce. When that vanilla ice cream looks bare and you need a change from hot fudge-use blueberry sauce. When you want a change from orange or cherry sauce […]
